We Traced NYC’s 30-Year Water Problem to the Source

Über dieses Video

The tunnel that supplies half of NYC’s drinking water is leaking, and we got to go 700 feet underground to check it out. The Delaware Aqueduct is the longest tunnel in the world, and it’s been leaking 30 million gallons a day for decades. The problem took 30 years to solve, and the repair isn’t over. What does this mean for NYC’s water supply? Come with us to find out. Huge thanks to the team at the DEP for giving us an inside look and for all the work they do to provide New Yorkers clean water.
